A Co Armagh man accused of attacking and threatening to kill his partner fell and broke his foot as he tried to climb back into her home, the High Court in Belfast heard yesterday.
Christopher Simpson (30) plunged to the ground while in breach of a ban on going near the alleged victim, prosecutors said.
Refusing his application for bail, Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan ruled he was unlikely to abide by any release conditions.
Mr Simpson, of Glanroy Avenue in Portadown, faces charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and making a threat to kill.
He is accused of pulling his partner’s hair before grabbing and punching her about the face and body during an incident on July 10th, the court heard.
It was also claimed that he told her: “This time I will cut your throat.”
The woman subsequently withdrew her complaint, indicating she didn’t believe he would carry out any such threat.
Mr Simpson had been released from custody, but was detained again following a further incident three days later.
